First Church of Christ, Scientist
The First Church of Christ, Scientist, is a 220-seat building located on
McCallie Avenue across from UTC, between First Christian and First
Presbyterian Churches. The first pipe organ was a small Wicks unit organ
that spoke through small grills in the front of the room.The Casavant is installed
in a rather stark, utilitarian case in the gallery of the colonial-style church. The bench
nearly backs up to the case, making it virtually impossible for the organist
to hear the congregation during hymns. Down on the floor, the organ sounds
pretty good.
Casavant Freres, Ltee, Opus 3447, 1979, 2/13
